          It all prefers on temps though…

          Hot: 21 oz
          Do-able: 19 oz 07 denim
          Cold: 25 oz

          But since I don't want 3 pairs in rotation: 25 oz. denim and 17 oz. duck...

          And I suppose a THANK YOU GILES is in order  😉

              I'm not sure I have a favourite; they all have their points.

              At the moment I'm just getting back into 21oz after a long period of 25oz - I'd forgotten how 'welcoming' the 21oz denim is. It's like coming back to an old friend.

              In terms of fast/contrast fading, my 19oz Indos are wayyy ahead of the others. The 25oz is as stubborn as a mule, but after some wear it looks great.

              Still haven't ventured into the 18oz IH denim, but sometime soon that will change.

                I'd have to go with the 18 oz..yes the 21's are magical in The way they are soft but the shine that is developing on my 18 oz pair is pretty damn cool.  Oh and im a sucka for rigidness.

                        21oz sbg gets no love?  So far I'm really digging the feel and color

                          I love 21 oz in both forms, sanforized and od. They have great look and feel and all.  I want to repeat: I really really love them.
                          But
                          every time I jump into my 666XHS… Ouch!
                          25 oz is the ultimate, period.  😘

                            25oz hands down. I don't understand why people say it's warm in 25oz.. I wear it every single day in 35 degree celcius weather and I still don't find it warm.

                              Looks like 21 oz is where it's at so far?

                                Simply love my 21oz overdyed. So soft, so comfortable….

                                  I've only worn the 21oz so far. I'm looking forward to trying other IH denims in the future, particularly the lighter weights, but I suspect it will be hard to top that "Ahhhh!" feeling of pulling my Busters on in the morning when the denim feels so good.

                                    I'm going with the 18 oz. raw.  Of the IH denim I have, I would rank them in this order:

                                    1.  18 Oz. Raw
                                    2.  21 Oz. SBG
                                    3.  25 Oz.
                                    4.  21 Oz.

                                    I like them all, but I seem to put on the Raw Busters more than the others.

                                      love the 21oz, but my vote goes to the 18oz raw

                                        I've tried 18oz, 18ozOD, 21, 25 and 23oz. 13. It's a close call between 23 and 25, at the end of the day I gotta go 25oz. It's tough dark breathable, and it gets soft after a few months. All with electric blue fades.It's a super denim

                                          cross post cause i'm a numb-skull:

                                          my favorite of the moment  is  the 18oz.  the easiest way to put it is the 21oz are like a dinner party with all the extra forks & spoons & twenty napkins & 4 glasses for water & tea & wine great & comfortable from the start, so you got that.

                                          now the 18 is like a dive bar that you go into & although you have no idea how you ended up in there & you end up having a great time.  both are good for what they are & are good experiences but it's something about that dive bar & people just being natural & letting it all hang-out.

                                          left out the 25oz & the sbg as i have & wore them but not enough to really give an informed opinion.

                                          left-out overdyed denims as they are a specially treated denim & i'm not crazy about any of them (as of right now).  OD was exciting for me at first, but now it just reminds me of acid wash, stonewashed denim.  just an extra process which takes the denim out of it's natural state.

                                          head high, middle finger higher
